When's it meant to be handed down? Is it at the end of his tenure, or is it in the next few weeks? Does it have a date on it?

    hes not here to do a report

    His 'recommendations' then. He's meant to be doing something like that.

    I'd say it will take him roughly a decade to be able to get down all our issues on paper so don't hold your breath Striker.

    But seriously I'd say late this season he'll probably be reporting his findings to the AFL. Whether or not we get to see what he comes up with, who knows.

    Gerard Healy mentioned during the commentary that it would be delivered to the AFL within the next few weeks. I'd say we'll be able to move on Neeld during or just after the bye. Considering we play St Kilda after the bye (we might be a legitimate chance there), it might be the perfect chance to unveil an interim coach.

    Hang on why would he be delivering it to the AFL. Should he not be delivering it to the Board and if not are we under administration because my impression is that the CEO reports to the Club Board first and then the Board through the President to the AFL.

    Further to this, everyone calling for the AFL to step in take a deep breath and just think about what you are actually calling for. Do you want the AFL/Vlad running our Club. There has to be a better way.

    There is no report in the sense it has been put here. We have a new, albeit acting, CEO, doing what any new CEO would do. Obviously, part of that is reviewing what has been happening, proposing a way forward, and implementing whatever changes he sees as appropriate.

    Also, he's not answerable to the AFL, he made that clear in his first press conference. He's employed by Melbourne and answerable to the board.

    They are already running our club via financing.

    To be honest, I do know what I'm calling for.

    The AFL holds the licences to 8 AFL sides. Of those eight sides, five of them have won flags over the last 20 years, 4 of them having won more than 1. They've accounted for ten of the last 20 flags despite being a minority of the competition for most of that time.

    While there is the independence side, the AFL have control of the funding already and could kill us tomorrow if they wanted. Obviously they don't.

    Of course not. The broadcasting agreement states 9 games a week.

    We have 4 years to get our act together or die or be relocated(nice and warm in the NT)

    There isn't a better way. MFC has shown itself unable to competently manage its affairs.

    You are seriously dreaming if you don't think Jackson is an AFL appointment under veil of the structure you outlined.

    Does it ever make you wonder why a person of Jackson's calibre with significant senior business interests with AFL would do a "charity" 6 month stint at MFC? As Demetriou has said the AFL has "recommended" Jackson.

    If the Board had any sense they would be co operating with Jackson and the AFL.

    I think we are effectively under the AFLs control now. We may have become an unofficial expansion club in terms of the level of support we will receive from the AFL. It's embarrassing but necessary. I mean apart from the Ox we haven't exactly had people banging down the door to get involved.

    Yes, we are under administration.

    Really? I'm a member and don't remember being involved in any decision or even being told we've been put into administration.

    I think we need to be very careful making assumptions about corporate responsibility. As far as I'm concerned, the corporate governance scheme currently in place is that Peter Jackson reports first, foremost and only to the Board. The Board, as part of its licence (franchise) agreement is accountable to the AFL. I have no doubt the AFL is taking a keen interest and that Peter Jackson's appointment not only has the support of the AFL but may well have been encouraged by the AFL, but whether we like it or the AFL likes it, Jackson is still accountable to the Board and us as members.

    Conversely, and what follows from the above, is that as members, we need to take responsibility for appointments to the Board. So, rather than just blaming the Board, we should be actively considering how to improve it. I hope the next round of elections will be a very interesting time.

    Sorry Binman, I can't. Would love to, but I have been asked not to say anything further and I have given that undertaking. All I can say, there will be a meeting this week, with changes to follow.

    The board have been scheduled to meet about now for weeks anyway, plus Jackson has stated in the media that changes were going to happen in the FD, don't read into it too much.

    My mail, which I'm assuming is what Iva's possibly alluding to is the decision to Move Neeld will be made early this week and he will coach his last game against the Hawks. Source has a 60/40 record so whether concrete or not we will see.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
